France to tighten immigration controls

BBC
The cynic in me keeps thinking
"Look out for a flood of immigrants through the chunnel, ferrys etc"

Quote:

France's government has announced a raft of new measures designed to tackle illegal immigration.
The new rules include the introduction of visas with biometric information, as well as an increase in expulsions.
"When it comes to illegal immigration, the rule has to be firmness," interior minister Dominique de Villepin told Le Figaro newspaper.
He also said the EU constitution - to be voted on in a referendum on 29 May - would make immigration control easier.
This was because asylum and immigration issues would be decided by majority vote, rather than requiring unanimity among the 25 EU member states, he said.
No amnesty
Mr De Villepin said there were between 200,000 and 400,000 illegal immigrants in France - the first time such figures have been made public.

Yeah right!!!

What a load of tosh!!!

Heather my fiance, went to france a week or so back, picked up my passport by mistake, got to france ok dispite it having being checked by border guards (we look NOTHING alike by the way).

She also got back in to the country fine dispite the border guards on the other side thinking I was her sister!!!

No wonder so many illegals get in, the borders must be like a seive!!

Should have sold that story to a tabloid... :(

But we're a civilised (well most of the time) country. Fine, those who come here illegally put on a boat and let it float somewhere. But those who are genuinely fleeing should be welcomed provided they are willing to work and pay taxes as do we. If they get half arsed and don't want to, deport them

In a lot of those states they also oppress women! How about we kick you off the board because women are not allowed to express opinion in some of these countrys. Just because some people do it, doesnt make it right

Shooting immigrants, dear god. :td:

Re: France to tighten immigration controls

I dunno about blocking it up, but I was disappointed the first time I went through it and realised it's not made out of glass. I was kinda hoping it would be like those tunnels you get to walk through at Marine Land where the sharks and the fishies are swimming about over your head.

...actually, thinking about the state of the Engrish Channel, it's probably a good idea that it's not transparent.
